Yes! I love it! The texture is different because it’s cold. It’s difficult to explain the difference, but there’s a slight grittiness to hot oats, specifically in whatever liquid you cook it with, that’s absent from overnight oats made in the fridge. So it’s smoother and the oats are very soft as opposed heated and falling apart. I like to make it in a small ball jar with sweetened vanilla almond milk and cut up bananas. I prefer the flavor of the almond milk.
I prefer Overnight oats especially in the summer. It’s so easy to throw everything in a jar the night before and it’s just ready for you in the morning. It’s reeeeeally hard to mess up overnight oats because you can’t over or undercook it.
I’ve never done my oatmeal on the stove. I usually use hot water to make it. I do like the overnight oatmeal but for me is that it’s like eating cold cereal that isn’t crunchy. I have it on occasion this way but I personally love a hot breakfast over a cold one. Lately I’ve been have toast with guacamole an egg fried in coconut oil and a slice of cheese. Very filling and satisfying.
I have never tried overnight oatmeal but I do like the idea of having a good breakfast ready to go. I honestly think it’s a great idea if you don’t have the time to prepare breakfast in the morning. I actually will give this a try.
I dont know that ive had overnight oatmeal. I tend to start towards quick foods, especially in the morning. Protein shakes (maybe with some oatmeal in it) is a staple for me.
I prefer overnight oats better because I can make it the night before and not have to worry about making it in the morning
I don’t use either. I use instant oatmeal. It’s quicker for a busy schedule. All I have to do is pop it into the microwave, eat, and then go.
Yes I do!!! I enjoy it because you can make it ahead of time, so it is a quick breakfast option. I think overnight oats allow you a few more options for added nutrients like chia seeds or protein.
I really like overnight oatmeal, it’s easy to prep the night before and you can add whatever you want. I also really like that it gets soft and creamy but it doesn’t get gooey and sticky like stovetop oatmeal does. I like to add chia seeds, turmeric, cinnamon, honey, pecans, and berries to mine (but I add the berries and nuts in the morning).
Yes, it’s quick, easy and can conveniently be prepared in advance. It’s generally eaten cold so I make it sweeter with maple syrup and vanilla extract. It doesn’t have the nice warming effect but is still tasty and a great idea for breakfast.
